To get the most out of Classoos here are some top tips:
As a teaching tool;
- The books can be projected onto a screen in the classroom. By zooming in even those at the back will be able to clearly see the words, diagrams, equations or maps.
- During the lesson add thought-provoking questions and notes to share with the students in their textbooks so they will have the reminders and guides when working alone or revising.
- Link to external online resources within specific parts of the text and share to students’ books; related YouTube videos, blogs and quizzes are then easy to access in and outside the classroom.
- Add department resources and share the workload. Each teacher can contribute to create and share a department resources hub, perfect for lesson planning.
- Link to these teacher-made resources; worksheets, quizzes, further reading guides, diagrams or maps for use by the whole department, teachers and students, during lessons.
- In the event of staff absence, saved resources are readily available on the students’ textbooks and can be directed to by a substitute teacher.
- Notes within the text can be used for short comments, saving the students switching between their VLE and the text to find the relevant section when doing homework.
- Set highlighting exercises for students to show understanding or highlight parts of the text that need to be flagged or are central to the theme.
- Encourage students to use the textbook as they would a search engine; by searching in set texts and accredited/approved textbooks the information retrieved will be genuine and validated.
